Baker Street

Lyrics

Gerry Rafferty

Winding your way down on Baker StreetLite in your head, and dead on your feetWell another crazy day, you drink the night awayAnd forget about everythingThis city desert makes you feel so cold Its got so many people but its got no soulAnd it's taken you so long to find out you were wrongWhen you thought it held everything.You used to think that it was so easyYou used to say that it was so easyBut you're tryin, you're tryin nowAnother year and then you'd be happyJust one more year and then you'd be happyBut you're cryin', you're cryin' nowWay down the street there's a light in his placeYou open the door, he's got that look on his faceAnd he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seenAnd you talk about anythingHe's got this dream about buyin' some landHe's gonna give up the booze and the one night standsAnd then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little townAnd forget about everythingBut you know he'll always keep movingYou know he's never gonna stop moving'Cause he's rollin He's the rolling stoneAnd when you wake up it's a new morningThe sun is shining, it's a new morningAnd you're going, you're going home
